The AAIR Charity (Asthma, Allergy and Inflammation Research)The Charity, based at Southampton General Hospital was set up to raise funds for important research into the causes of asthma and allergy with the objective of finding effective treatments and cures to help secure a better future for suffers and their families. We are proud to be one of the world's leading research centres into these diseases. Our research is dependant upon donations and grants alone. We are always happy to welcome visitors to the department to see where the funding goes and to meet the research team. Ongoing fundraising will enable us to build upon these achievements and develop future projects. Asthma and allegic disease may not seem as emotive as other conditions, but can have a devastating impact on the lives of suffers, often leaving severe patients debilliatated and unable to lead a normal quality of life
